Before you start using your
smartkat , there are some important things you should know about this
newly developed sailing boat. The smartkat has been designed to provide you with many hours of
fun and enjoyment, giving new meaning to the term ‘fun sailing’. In this manual we have tried to use

experience can assemble and take the
smartkat into operation easily. Our apologies if the simp-lified
explanations disturb our experienced sailing enthusiasts!

smartkat .
The operation and use of the smartkat always takes place at your own risk and under your own
responsibility.
This user manual also includes a warranty card that must be filled out by the selling agent and

Your copy of the warranty card must be presented if warranty be filled out by the selling agent and
